When you drive ‘up north’ in Michigan, you enter territory which has not been brainwashed with leftwing nonsense. You also enter more traditional America where God and country are still esteemed. it is the same in Minnesota. Leaving the Twin Cities metro area and avoiding the NE corner where Duluth is [labor union area], the more traditional values are still in existence.
This is something that many people along the NE coast and the Pacific coast do not comprehend. Polls which say that Trump is still ‘underwater’ are just nonsensical. The major news media has really done a job on the psyche of Americans. For those who support Trump, many, including myself, do not answer polls or speak publicly about politics at all for fear that some unbalanced leftist will attack me, or my home or car will be damaged. I live in a university town. Fortunately our local radio stations have afternoon local talk radio, and the overwhelming opinions expressed are conservative, and not for Democrats.
The 2020 election will be very interesting, and at this time my gut tells me that Trump is heading for an overwhelming victory.
” Polls which say that Trump is still ‘underwater’ are just nonsensical.”
Polls that count rabid barking moonbats in $hithole states that are 75% demonrat are meaningless. They always vote demonrat.
Only polls in states that Trump won matter.
The left will NEVER grasp this...and it is not just in rural, hard-working America.
I worked a couple of years on a mine project in central British Colombia, a very liberal, leftist province, and people in the hinterland are extremely conservative. They envy our gun laws and opposition to socialism.
The problem is, like us in rural America, they do not have the voting impact that Vancouver has.
I’m with you. My father bought the biggest Chrysler station wagon and filled it with his huge tribe. He had to fill the first pew at church every Sunday. We’d get to about Grayling and start seeing the convoys of military vehicles.the soldiers would wave and smile at us backwards facing kids in the station wagon. When we got close to the Big Mac Bridge. It was a game to see who spotted the bridge first.The middle lane of the bridge makes a sound as you drove across and mom would say the bridge is singing so we’d all start singing road songs.next we park for the ferry and race aboard to the upper level to sit in the front so we could get soaked traveling across the lake. Once on the island, we would run to Ruby’s Fudge shop and watch with wonder as they made the fudge. The huge sugar high propelled us up the long steps up to grandmas house, she lived in one of the two houses in the fort.after a few days on the island it was west to Escanaba, Mom yelling at lead foot dad as he tried to pass every camper with inches to spare.
The media, for all their alleged intelligence and insight, are clueless about some things.
The media are headquartered in the New York/Washington axis, and this undoubtedly affects how they cover stories, and who works in that business.
There are vast areas of America which are very different from the bicoastal liberal areas.
Just look at the map of the counties carried by Trump, vs. those carried by Hillary, and that gives you some clues. Even many “blue states” have big numbers of counties within those states which supported Trump.
